lord gardiner of kimble: Extensive work to prepare for a ‘no deal’ scenario has been under way for almost two years and we are taking necessary steps to ensure trade flows continue to operate as smoothly as possible from the day we leave the EU.

This will continue to be the case once we leave the EU.
